I’m sorry if some of you find this to be somewhat anti-climactic, but the thread Anthony posted this morning was as much a surprise to me as anyone. His post changed things, and at least delayed the original announcements that I was ready to make on Tuesday night. I know that it’s been a confusing and tense week, I have not been intentionally trying to lead you on or shirk any of your questions and doubts, but everything seems to change by the minute.

I apologize for being vague, but before I make my public the plans that were formulated on Tuesday, Anthony & I have to discuss a few things. I say this only so that you can keep in mind that there are other major site decisions that are in the works but are contingent upon our open conversation. I have no timeframe on that, when Anthony gets back to me, and we settle matters, you will be immediately informed.

This site has changed greatly not only since its birth nearly two years ago, but in dramatic respects during the last six months. We will be making progress and taking steps to develop the site in response to some of those changes, and to allow us to start fresh. Here is what will be taking place almost immediately…

1. The site will be receiving a complete makeover. New colors, buttons, logo, etc. are all in the works and will be instituted as quickly as the design can be made.

2. In addition to the site redesign, there will be changes in the forums themselves. South Park will be erased before the weekend. Fight Club will be re-modeled. And other plans are being discussed for adding/removing other boards.

3. All member statuses will be erased. This does not mean statuses will be disabled, but that everyone will be given the opportunity to start over.

4. In our attempt to start anew, all members who have been banned are welcome to return to the site on a case-by-case basis. Any member who has been banned and wishes to start clean, can contact any moderator or myself and their name will be discussed by the moderators as a group.


As I said, there will be future changes, and there are other matters in the works, I hope to be able to speak of what I originally intended within the next few days. At that time I will go into greater depth about the more recent events and what it has been leading up to. Again I apologize if this all has an incomplete feel. But it seemed better to at least inform you partially than to keep waiting until I could explain everything.

It’s time for some changes, some minor and some drastic. The mods & I have been conversing openly about a lot of new ideas. We are not trying to re-visit any glory days, but we want to give the site a more relaxed atmosphere. We are working together as a group to once again bring a sense of community to this site.



I believe in the Faith... that can save me.
I believe in the hope and I pray...
That someday it may raise me... above these badlands

Let the purge begin!! Bring it on, I say. Hopefully this will be a shot in the arm and help OA.com in the long run.

I've gotta be honest. I know its "only a messageboard" but, I had another account that I signed up for in August 2000. I never used it to post because, well.. I got a job and forgot about the site. But then in December 2000, we all know what happened. BANG PARTY. This is where the first huge influx of members came. At the time, whe I'd post and get ripped apart, or other newbies would get ripped. I'd just think that there were a bunch of fucking scumbags on the site, but I quickly grew out of that. But in the last 6 months, I realize on a much larger scale what it must have been like. Now I know why you guys hated the 1 million, "whens the next bang party" threads.

Anyway, FROY, PLEASE don't kill the south park forum.

The reason the statuses are being wiped out is as a part of our desire to start clean.

People still carry around a lot of ancient stigmas and there's a lot of political history and drama that it's time we forgot. Everyone says they hate the drama, this is one step towards helping to put everyone back on equal footing.

Well, i had my say on the situation in Anthony's thread. As for the plans...it all sounds good to me. Like I said there...it's time for people to really ask why they are here and what this site is really about.

Sounds like a good plan Froy. Im thinking a new look overall would give a new feel and might ease everyone the hell up a bit. Will there be newer features in so far as posting goes (sounds, bigger sig limits, etc.?) And if forums are going to be added/removed, will we be able to give suggestions?

I look forward to the changes, they might be exactly what this site needs, especially after this week.


This week's quote : Hope in the face of our human distress helps us to understand the turbulence deep inside that takes hold of our lives - Shame and disgrace over mental unrest keeps us from saving those we love - The grace within our hearts and the sorrow in our souls - Deception of fame - Vengeance of war - Lives torn apart - Losing oneself - Spiraling down - Feeling the walls closing in - A journey to find the answers inside our illusive mind...


You can reach me through AIM or email. Feel free to contact me if you have any board questions, techie (PC) questions, or even if you just wanna chat.

And just what did you expect to find here? Something witty??

AIM: SmarterChild

Write To Me Here

I think it all started with the Declaration of Independence -- the idea that we had the inalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That pursuit is what took America from the revolution to the computer age in 200 years. But the progress has come at a price. The obvious being the people that were exploited to make it possible; the not so obvious being us, the first group of people that were given no obvious frontiers to conquer. We hear stories that about the good old days that don't seem to apply anymore. It's a generation gap that leaves us without role models. But the bright side is that without role models, there are no roles. Maybe that's what the 60s were all about -- getting rid of the roles. But what do we replace them with? Without any guidance, what do we replace them with? Without any guidance, the choices become overwhelming. Sometimes it just makes everything feel hopeless. So we destroy our bodies in the search of an ideal. Try to salvage relationships that don't work. We feel we must do something, instead of doing something that we feel. It is the prison of self-imposed momentum, and the sad part is that we get used to it. It reminds me of a song I heard the other day. It's called "The Going Nowhere Fast." But the people I have met here have shown me another side of Nowhere. They've pointed out the beautiful irony that stagnation makes it easy to stop and smell the roses, if we just let it. What would we be if we had nothing to rebel against? Well we could finally be ourselves, the first group of people who stopped looking for the answers long enough to appreciate the questions. And all we have to do is to make our own Declaration of Independence. We can embrace the right to life and liberty by simply realizing that happiness exists -- not to pursue, but to accept. After that the only challenge would be to make sure with the rest of our lives that we weren't just another fad. I don't know, it's an idea. What do you think?

Ah... a legitimate question. With this new clean, fresh, douche-like purge... will there be new post counts then? Just asking a question some others might ask. And will we smell like Summer's Eve? If so... NICE.
